I Saw the Master Before He Was Named

By JW

Thirty years ago, when I was about fourteen or fifteen years
old, I was listening to a radio program from Newark, New Jersey,
called "The Mystic Barber."
A fellow on the program claimed that if you imagined
a blue ball of light hovering in front of you, and imagined where you wanted
to go, you would go there. It sounded interesting and exciting. As soon
as the program ended, I switched off the radio, dimmed the lights, and sat
down to imagine the blue light.

The next thing I knew, a slender man wearing glasses and dressed in a white
shirt or lab coat was standing in front of me in a white room. The room
looked like a laboratory with metal tables and cabinets. I felt myself being
drawn toward him as if by a very powerful magnet. The vision ended.

When I first began studying
Eckankar four years ago, I went to an ECK
lecture in New Jersey. There I saw
Sri Harold Klemp's picture for the first time.
He was wearing glasses and looked exactly like the man in my dream-vision.
Three years later, I attended a large Eckankar seminar. On stage that night,
Sri Harold mentioned that some people had experiences with him on the inner
planes years before he became the Living ECK Master in 1981. An electric
shock coursed through my being, and I knew! At that moment, my search
ended. At long last, I had found the Master, and now, when I walk, I'm always
in good company.
